Dear Linguistic community, 

I am interested whether other cases like Basque exist, where we find the
following situation: volitional predicates may take infinitival
complements, where the subject of the lower clause must be disjoint in
reference with respect to the matrix subject. Any information related to
this is issue is welcome. 
Many thanks in advance, 
Itziar San Martin

Subject: Filled Pauses in Spanish

I am doing a comparative study on filled pauses between English and
Spanish. I am trying to describe the functionality of filled pauses in
discourse by analyzing prosodic features and body language.

Does anyone have good references on filled pauses in Spanish?

I will post the answers.

Thanks a lot.
